june's sew-along project preview and supply list

Hello, Friends!

It's time for another sew-along! And we are finally getting to the sewing-machine cover!

This machine cover will fit most machines and it would be simple to make it bigger or smaller, according to the size you need. Please note that you could also make this mini-quilt into a table runner or a wall hanging by leaving the ties off.

This project is good for adventurous beginners and beyond! Our start date is Monday, June 25th.

Here is a picture of what we will be working towards:

And here is a view of the front, backing and ties:Here is a supply list for this project:

Enough scraps to cut ninety 3-1/2" tumblers

20" X 29" piece of backing fabric

20 X 29" piece of warm and natural batting

1/4 yard fabric for the ties

1/4 yard fabric for the binding

Tumbler Template or Accuquilt Go! Cutter and 3-1/2" Tumbler Die

You will also need a rotary mat, cutter and ruler, a sewing machine, thread, and assorted basic sewing supplies. To complete the quilting by machine, you will need a walking foot or a free motion foot that fits your machine.

I have set up a kit in my shop that includes the fabric for the tumblers, backing, binding and ties, and also the tumbler die. The kit does not include the Warm and Natural Batting (you can purchase that at your LQS or at Joann's).
